Oklahoma Highway Patrol works to solve mystery of seven
unidentified crash victims
by Josh Wallace Published: March 26, 2017 12:00 AM CDT
At least seven bodies lay in their final repose in cemeteries
scattered across the state, entombed under names not their own.
They are among the 111 people cataloged in a database of
unidentified persons in the state, and their cases will soon be
given attention through social media in an effort to reunite the
dead with their loved ones.
Capt. Ronnie Hampton, who oversees the Oklahoma Highway Patrol's
traffic homicide program, said he was shocked when he logged
into the database about a year ago and saw the number of dead
who remain unidentified, ranging from the early 1970s to last
year.
Hampton said a campaign is being launched between the patrol,
the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and the
state medical examiner's office to profile each of the seven
people.
“Our goal is to bring attention to these valuable resources for
Oklahomans who may have friends or relatives who have been
missing for many years, and to reunite family members with their
loved one's remains,” Hampton said.
Each of the six men and one woman was either a pedestrian or
occupant in vehicles who died in crashes. The oldest of the
cases involves a pedestrian killed in 1972.
Using articles of clothing and other information gathered at the
time of death, Hampton said, they are hoping members of the
public will recognize the deceased and start the process of
positively identifying them.
Hampton said the seven people are buried in cemeteries in the
counties in which they died, as either Jane Doe or John Doe. He
described what happens after the agency thinks it has a match on
one of the dead as a “step by step process.”
“Once we believe we have found the person and (their) relative
... then the medical examiner will start the legal process to
file an order to have the body exhumed to try to get core DNA
samples to match to a relative,” Hampton said.
Some cases will be difficult, as at least two of the dead were
badly burned in crashes, but Hampton said there are others he's
more hopeful of identifying.
“Some of them we don't think will be really difficult to do.
What we're doing is triaging them, which one of these is most
likely to solve. It will just depend on what evidence is in the
case,” he said.
